Please do a video on menopause and hormones and wrinkles, weight gain, body speeding up aging process. I know there’s a lot of concern about breast cancer and taking hormones in menopause. But I just heard something about all those studies being done ages and ages ago and the studies weren’t done correctly, so they really didn’t know if May have been candidates for getting cancer anyway. So please do a video on when a person should start taking hormones and when it may not be the best thing or if there’s a better alternative to this, and who am I person might go to to start hormone therapy. Because I’ve heard that most gynecologist don’t really know much about menopause at all. That’s the least studied portion of OB/GYN so what kind of education should a person be looking for when they’re looking for a doctor to start hormonal therapy with? As always, your videos are so informational thank you so much.
Hormonal therapy is not good. I've aligned with a company that does amazing test based nutrition that works for menopause and it's all natural products. Contact me if you want to have a look😊
I got cancer breast cancer at ages 49 .got menopause at the same time . I used to look way younger before but know with cancer and menopause I start wrinkles around my eyes and in my face.which something make me un comfortable 😢
I went through early menopause at 43-44. I’m 70 now. I’ve been taking hormones since then with gynecological approval. There are new studies that a woman can take them the remainder of her life with many benefits (breast cancer risks have been downplayed, original studies were flawed). I take bioidentical hormones. I use an estradiol skin patch replaced once week, an estradiol tablet inserted in the vagina twice a week and progesterone capsules day 1-12 of each month. If I took progesterone every day it cancelled out some of the benefits of the estradiol patch but then I wouldn’t get a period (yes at 70!).
I beg to differ. I’ve been taking bioidentical hormones since I was 44 (early menopause) with my gynecologist’s approval. I’m 70 now. New studies down play breast cancer risks (flawed original studies) and say there are many benefits taking them for life. @@lizlfranken-desousa7535

I follow a balanced diet ( based on Dr Gregor daily dozen ) I’m older. Starting to use castor oil on my body and face nightly with retinol. Need to remember to hydrate I exercise daily Want to do infrared more frequently .
Dr. Karam, this is one of your best videos. I believe there are things women and men should do before having any plastic surgery done. One of them are all the things you talk about in this video. It's important to eat right, take vitamins and supplements, exercise, and be consistent with skin care. There is another thing that is important and that we need to consider in the equation, and that is our teeth because our teeth have to do with our wellness, ex: internal organs one being, heart for example. Getting back to why this should be addressed before having plastic surgery is because we need to be consistent with the care of our teeth. If we are not brushing twice a day for approximately 2 min a day, getting dental checkups we need to ger on the band wagon with this. You don't want yellow, rotten, crooked teeth before considering plastic surgery. Take care of your teeth and all things Dr. K speaks about in this video first.
I do everything that Dr. Karam says. Except I make my own bone broth fot the last 15 years. I am 49. People say I look like I'm in my mid 30s. Bothers me a little. It was late 20s for a while. I contribute a lot of it to weight training since I was 17. But I'm sure everything else has helped - skin care, diet. Gave up alcohol, ultra processed food and sugar a few years ago. Make my own food. Too much crap out there. Most importantly my body feels good. But now I've entered perimenopause/ menapause. Trying to learn how to navigate this next level of life.
I watch these videos while I do my cardio! Dr. Karam is a wealth of information, the videos are greatly appreciated. I am 45 and along with all the common sense choices- sunscreen, no smoking, no drinking, exercise - I've been taking these supplements for years and they work. When I'm ready for my FL, I'm getting on a plane to see Dr. Karam!
If you go to Florida for plastic surgery, that means not you have done helped. I don’t do nothing except at night Nivea or coconut oil never drink or smoke , every one takes me for my friend daughter. And she’s only 7 years older than me.
I loved it!! This was such a helpful and needed video, Dr. Karam! I am equally passionate about nutrition and skincare and I find it odd that, in some communities, the two topics are completely disjointed and sometimes even taboo. We are ONE system designed to operate in sync. I love your holistic approach to beauty and commitment to health.
This is why I like Skin School Dr. Karam. I've taken Vitamins for years but never thought about it being in any way to skin health. I can't take anything with biotin in it because it counter acts my thyroid meds that I must take because of thyroid cancer. Bone broth is great in one's diet. A lot of the foods you listed are in my diet and that makes me feel great. Thank you so much Dr. Karam for this great video.
I'm a vegetarian/vegan and so not much to no collegian. Still my skin is smooth, no wrinkles. Nobody thinks I am my age. They usually think my son is my boyfriend (poor him!). I think eating healthy, drink tea, no smoking, no alcohol and beware of the sun will do way more than any supplement. Just my thoughts... LJ
I avoid sun since my twenties I’m now in my 40’s but I also have low vitamin d level for a long time until now my highest is 35, my level is always between 5 and 35.
Thank you so much from Australia 🤗. This is the best video I have seen in a very long time & I will incorporate all of these into my diet. Ty so much Dr!
Thank you so much for providing clear, succinct and important information based on peer reviewed studies and your personal experience. I found your channel a few months ago and have learned so much. I appreciate a trustworthy source of information.
For those considering omega-3s (which should be everyone), do yourself a favour and get the algae-derived kind. Fish only have omega-3's because they eat this micro algae, so better to get it direct from the algae itself without all the harmful chemicals that accumulate in fish.
Just fyi: collagen can greatly increase the risk of kidney stones for kidney stone formers, so like krytonite for calcium oxylate kidney stone formers. You should include that caution when speaking about that as for those people kidney stone formation and discharge of same is not only severly painful but over the long run can cause CKD and even total loss of kidney function
@@Daisy-xl4xuYou should probably speak to your doctor (one who has a deep familiarity with your medical history) right away and whenever you decide to add or remove a new food item from your diet on a regular basis. Making drastic dietary changes without consulting your doctor first (and maybe even a nutritionist if your doctor is unsure) can be potentially risky if you have a chronic condition (particularly for those with autoimmune disorders and/or kidney disorders).
Vast majority of kidney stones are formed of calcium oxalate. It is only a minority - maybe 1% that are formed of an amino acid found in collagen. So there is a risk of forming kidney stones by taking collagen but it is very small.
Dr. Karam-Thank you for this video- deciphering this all can be overwhelming. Can you talk more about specific brands of high quality vitamins, minerals & supplants- it’s like a mine field out there. Also- if we supplement with these things- do we also take a quality multivitamin? A quick “cheat sheet” would be incredibly helpful. I use your trifecta line & LOVE it- thank you @dramirkaram
Please, could you do a video about HRT: Bio identical hormone replacement therapy. Thank you in advance. Your videos are very educational, well done, and easy to understand.
I take Vit C that’s it. I’m turning 50 this month. But I do include fermented foods, avocado, use only healthy oils, I eat mostly home cook meals, this works for me. Start with cleaning up junk from your diet and it will do wonders.
Thank you for this. especially for including foods from vegetarian and vegan diets. I find it interesting that you mention a couple of things that vegans can't find in their diet or even un supplements ( like collagen) when the yummiest skin and brightest eyes I ever see belong to vegans. Nutrition is obviously a complex thing.
This video is very clear and impressive, love the fact that you did mentioned nutrafol and bovine collagen, in addition, could you provide a list of exactly what products you take on the daily??? There are so many (not so great) choices 🤔
Thanks! I think it's awesome to admit you support taking hydrolyzed collagen even though the mechanisms aren't fully understood, it appears to be beneficial! Looking forward to continuing to learn from you about skin, health and beauty!
I want to start using bone broth. Can you recommend a brand please? I'm hoping it might help improve osteoporosis too. And thank you Dr Karam for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us!
Hello I am a brand new subscriber and this was excellent and spot on.! We swear by using Hydrolyzed collagen peptides and many of these vitamins. I also use retin A, lots of SPF and barrier repair topicals . I am 64 and I look early 40's with no botox, fillers nothing. People are shocked when I tell them my age. We went to Italy for a while and I did not take my collagen and I could tell a difference over time. I have no wrinkles and also try to eat many of the foods you mention. What you are saying works, my husband and I are a testament. We have been using Andrew Lessmans ( Procap Labs) collagen and vitamins because he is amazingly knowledgeable like you and ethical and his products are the purist. Since taking his products our doctors and hairdresser have seen so many changes! We are so thankful. I love videos that are pure knowledge and people do their research, so you both remind me of each other which is an amazing thing. Thank you and keep educating us and I may try your products as well. I love the calm educational style. I also watched a video on retinol/Retin A an while ago and that was very good, wanted to have my son watch it so he starts young to have beautiful skin and health but have not had a chance yet. Very informational.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us . I simply love to watch your valuable informative TH-cam sessions.. I've learned so much from your sessions.
This was so helpful and interesting, Dr. Karam. Thank you! Glycine is another great supplement to take at bedtime, as it helps with the production of collagen, and also helps people sleep better! :) Your wife looks beautiful - and thanks for sharing what you both are taking for your supplements. Also, if you're taking biotin and you have labwork coming up, be aware that it will likely impact your thyroid lab levels, making them inaccurate. So it's recommended to stop it a while before those labs.
Im 100% vegan and get all my nutrients from food. For B12 I add nutritional yeast to my food regularly. For omega 3 I eat hemp and chia seeds. I get blood work yearly and it’s always excellent better than most animal product eating people I know. You don’t need to supplement if you’re vegan just make sure to eat a balanced diet. Edit: Also Moon Juice has an excellent vegan collagen boosting supplement.
Absolutely this! I am an ethical vegan so my reasoning for going vegan had nothing to do with vanity reasons as I am already an Esthetician, however my skin completely transformed when I became vegan. I feel as if I’m aging backwards! I do eat a Whole Food plant based diet with minimal processed vegan foods and exercise regularly but just cutting out all animal products was a game changer for my overall health and skin! Treating my body as a temple and not a graveyard has truly changed me and I never harm another living being in the process! It’s a win win 🌱
@@FragranceEuphoria I meant to say vegan collagen supporting supplement. Drinking collagen to support collagen health is like eating brain for cognitive health. Doesn’t make sense.
Thank you so much for this video, and including your wife into your daily basis healthy routine, is is very important that a patient can fully trust the Clinician actions by respecting his work!
Nutrafol has maintained my transplanted and native hairs. I tried all other hair supplements viviscal, prenatal, biotin alone etc. but this nutrafol seem to be the best one out there , if one has the $$$
Superb lecture, thank you! Glad you show the research! My Singapore and Chinese friends eat chicken feet and claim the collagen helps their skin and they do look younger than their ages.
I used tretinoin for over twenty years, listening to others I decided to implement vitamin c serum in my routine about 3 years ago. I was fine for about a year! After that first year, suddenly I couldn’t use both vitamin c and retinol in any steps. My skin freaks out, it gets freckle reddish, tender stinging, so now I can not use them together in any routine. Not one in AM one in PM, not one today one tomorrow barely getting away with using trentinoin/retinol. Thank you for the tips Dr. Karam.
I'm sorry to hear that. In order to prevent this kind of reaction, we've encapsulated our Retinol in the KaramMD Trifecta to allow for a slow release to the skin and added anti-inflammatories around the Vitamin C. In addition, we've formulated our Vitamin C serum (Quench) and our all-in-one Retinol cream (Illuminate) with two daily half doses of these ingredients for a gentler result. You can learn more about this topic here instagram.com/p/Cu7Pfjxx8RL/.
Dr, Can u make recommendation for what to put on lips? I’m 55 and newly menopausal women. My lips peel and I don’t know why. I use vit c serum, glycolic acid, and retin A on face but I don’t use it on lips. Could any of these cause lip peeling despite the fact that I don’t put them on my lips? Or could this be another “pleasant”effect of menopause? This started a few mts ago. Products and menopause occurred 2023. I use high quality products too. I wish more men put at least half as much effort into their appearance as this dr does!
@@rickgrimes9979I saw him on another video talks about micro Botox and he states that he does do it in his forehead etc and ensures it’s done subtly to allow for movement.
What a treat to listen to you on my Sunday morning .. I have again learnt so much thank you kindly for your time. Is there any way we can have all of this in a multipack .. so that it is all in one place, at the recommended amount .. that is my biggest issues with vitamins and supplements, it is just too much effort to get in, take all .. life takes over. However, I do many things here that you recommend and certainly the miconeedling has been amazing. I wish you had clinics in the UK ..
Thanks for the question! Collagen is the primary structural component of connective tissues in your body, present in high concentrations in cartilage, ligaments, tendons, bones, teeth, skin, hair, and nails. Silica, however, is a crucial nutrient required for collagen production. The key difference? Collagen serves as a ready-to-use base for an immediate collagen boost, whereas silica aids in the synthesis of collagen
Thank you for the comment and for watching! It's important to make sure any supplement is in the proper dosage and to tell your doctor if you are taking biotin supplements, especially if you are having lab tests done.
@@sonialoves444 because he gives informative information and the way he explains is easy to understand. That’s not super weird. Like in school, some teachers gave me a headache and others made me want to be in school.

Is there a way to eliminate the “music” while watching the videos? It’s exhausting for my head to listen to the information and to the other sounds. I’m a very musical person and too sensitive to noise 😔
Dr. Karam , what a Great video, the explanation & choices are perfect. This is one of the best videos I have seen, thanks so much for bringing us all your great expertise 🙏👍
I love your skin care. I’ve been using it for over a year and I love it. I have an olive skin tone and have been fighting melasma since I was in my 30’s. I’m 50 now and my skin has never looked better. It’s a little expensive but so worth it.
The main ones I take are collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, silica, D3 & K2, Astaxanthin, and chlorella. I’m 39, 0 wrinkles, don’t use Botox. (I also use astaxanthin topically in my skincare. It’s 6,000x stronger than vitamin c and 0 irritation)
@@ruthbar5352 I just open one of my Astaxanthin liquid supplement capsules and mix it in my skincare. Makes my face orange at night, but worth it. Read several scientific studies where hairless rats were irradiated with UV light, and given internal and external astaxanthin. Their skin damage was reversed. Also, it works as an “internal sunscreen”, protecting the skin from UV damage from the inside out.❤️
Beautifully presented Dr. Amir…you are so passionate on this subject, which is wonderful to hear … I do take & eat many of your suggested foods but I don’t take a collagen supplement.. maybe I should !! … thank you again ..😊
Thank you so much for this very generous informative video. I would like to know if you are getting any compensation for mentioning nutrafol and vital quality proteins.
Dr. Karam, vitamin B5 is pantothenic acid while vitamin B7 is biotin. In this video you're recommending "biotin (vitamin B5)", so which one are you referring to, the B5 or the B7?
I really like the way you do your presentation. You address the items by giving the objective and topic related at the beginning of the presentation. All the important points will be highlighted. This will make us understanding better.
I don't know much about taking this internally but it's an ingredient my Enrich Breathable Barrier Balm and is definitely beneficial when applied topically.
I've tried nearly all of the topical formulations and feel collagen peptides powder nutritional supplements are the best. I've seen great results in skin quality over the past 5 years.

Thank you so much from Australia 🤗. This is the best video I have seen in a very long time & I will incorporate all of these into my diet. Ty so much Dr!
You're so welcome! I'm glad you found it helpdul!
Thank you so much for providing clear, succinct and important information based on peer reviewed studies and your personal experience. I found your channel a few months ago and have learned so much. I appreciate a trustworthy source of information.
For those considering omega-3s (which should be everyone), do yourself a favour and get the algae-derived kind. Fish only have omega-3's because they eat this micro algae, so better to get it direct from the algae itself without all the harmful chemicals that accumulate in fish.
This is great insight, thanks for weighing in!
May I ask if algae-derived omega-3 contains both DHA and EPA?
@@dramirkaramhey doc all the omega supplements out there are rancid junk.. Do deeper research please.. You're 100% wrong
Just fyi: collagen can greatly increase the risk of kidney stones for kidney stone formers, so like krytonite for calcium oxylate kidney stone formers. You should include that caution when speaking about that as for those people kidney stone formation and discharge of same is not only severly painful but over the long run can cause CKD and even total loss of kidney function
Take lots of chanca piedra tea to break up kidney stones and if you take a lot of supplements
Yes I just found this out and I have kidney stones. Should I stop taking collagen? How can I get rid of stones naturally?
@@Daisy-xl4xu Try chanca piedra to break up kidney stones
@@Daisy-xl4xuYou should probably speak to your doctor (one who has a deep familiarity with your medical history) right away and whenever you decide to add or remove a new food item from your diet on a regular basis. Making drastic dietary changes without consulting your doctor first (and maybe even a nutritionist if your doctor is unsure) can be potentially risky if you have a chronic condition (particularly for those with autoimmune disorders and/or kidney disorders).
Vast majority of kidney stones are formed of calcium oxalate. It is only a minority - maybe 1% that are formed of an amino acid found in collagen. So there is a risk of forming kidney stones by taking collagen but it is very small.
Dr. Karam-Thank you for this video- deciphering this all can be overwhelming. Can you talk more about specific brands of high quality vitamins, minerals & supplants- it’s like a mine field out there. Also- if we supplement with these things- do we also take a quality multivitamin? A quick “cheat sheet” would be incredibly helpful. I use your trifecta line & LOVE it- thank you @dramirkaram
Please, could you do a video about HRT: Bio identical hormone replacement therapy. Thank you in advance. Your videos are very educational, well done, and easy to understand.
I take Vit C that’s it. I’m turning 50 this month. But I do include fermented foods, avocado, use only healthy oils, I eat mostly home cook meals, this works for me. Start with cleaning up junk from your diet and it will do wonders.
i’m 47 and am mistaken for my 20’s all the time. 🙏🏼 thank God i will be sure to implement these supplements into my regimen
The B vitamin Complex with added vitamin C everyday at breakfast really helps fuel my body and provides energy
They absolutely do not
Thank you so much for giving all the recipes,ie.. list of supplements and vits ❤☺️🙏
My favorite supplement is Astaxanthin. So great for the skin, not sure why I don’t hear about this from more doctors.
We included Astaxanthin in our KaramMD Enrich Breathable Barrier Balm. A great ingredient!
This is expensive and mostly found in the Antártica krill oil and it helps to make the collagen from the inner body. I am glad you mentioned it.
Probably because it cause stomach pain
Thank you for this. especially for including foods from vegetarian and vegan diets. I find it interesting that you mention a couple of things that vegans can't find in their diet or even un supplements ( like collagen) when the yummiest skin and brightest eyes I ever see belong to vegans. Nutrition is obviously a complex thing.
This video is very clear and impressive, love the fact that you did mentioned nutrafol and bovine collagen, in addition, could you provide a list of exactly what products you take on the daily???
There are so many (not so great) choices 🤔
All of them are in the video! I get most vitamins from my diet but I take Vital Proteins collagen and LMNT Electrolyte Drink every morning.
Beef organs supplement
Hello can u plz share dr karam which brand of hydrolysed collagen u use plus plz let me know the supplements brands that u use
Thank you so much Dr Koran. You are so correct. Blessings to you and your lovely wife.
Thanks! I think it's awesome to admit you support taking hydrolyzed collagen even though the mechanisms aren't fully understood, it appears to be beneficial! Looking forward to continuing to learn from you about skin, health and beauty!
I spent so much money over the years on collagen, new report claims that it is a waste of money, the body does not absorb it !
Hi
Thank you for your informative presentation.
I would like to know how KARM MD products maintains Vit C and stops it from oxidising ?
I want to start using bone broth. Can you recommend a brand please? I'm hoping it might help improve osteoporosis too. And thank you Dr Karam for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us!
There's not a specific brand I recommend. Just make sure you find one with quality ingredients, preferably bovine derived.
I make my own from organic chickens only.
Thank you again for your science backed videos. Appreciate that you share your knowledge with us!
Hello I am a brand new subscriber and this was excellent and spot on.! We swear by using Hydrolyzed collagen peptides and many of these vitamins. I also use retin A, lots of SPF and barrier repair topicals . I am 64 and I look early 40's with no botox, fillers nothing. People are shocked when I tell them my age. We went to Italy for a while and I did not take my collagen and I could tell a difference over time. I have no wrinkles and also try to eat many of the foods you mention. What you are saying works, my husband and I are a testament. We have been using Andrew Lessmans ( Procap Labs) collagen and vitamins because he is amazingly knowledgeable like you and ethical and his products are the purist. Since taking his products our doctors and hairdresser have seen so many changes! We are so thankful. I love videos that are pure knowledge and people do their research, so you both remind me of each other which is an amazing thing. Thank you and keep educating us and I may try your products as well. I love the calm educational style. I also watched a video on retinol/Retin A an while ago and that was very good, wanted to have my son watch it so he starts young to have beautiful skin and health but have not had a chance yet. Very informational.
This the one I was waiting for! It's so hard to choose. Too many supplements everywhere. That you so much Dr. Karam!
I'm glad you found it helpful!
@@dramirkaram Love your videos. Thank you.
Do your research
@@alicassidy8913 I do all the time but I like to switch and try new things. Great advice. lol
You should clarify: more isn't better (people love to megadose vitamines!). Vitamin E is also a potential risk in smokers.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us . I simply love to watch your valuable informative TH-cam sessions.. I've learned so much from your sessions.
You're very welcome. I'm glad you find the videos valuable.
It would be great if you told us how much DHA versus EPA to take in the fish oils because they vary greatly and they’re good for different things
This was so helpful and interesting, Dr. Karam. Thank you! Glycine is another great supplement to take at bedtime, as it helps with the production of collagen, and also helps people sleep better! :) Your wife looks beautiful - and thanks for sharing what you both are taking for your supplements. Also, if you're taking biotin and you have labwork coming up, be aware that it will likely impact your thyroid lab levels, making them inaccurate. So it's recommended to stop it a while before those labs.
I love your videos ❤
@@rachelchou4328 Thank you! 🙏
Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you liked the video.
Thank you so much . Being consistent is important too
This was very helpful! Thank you Dr. Karam!
I am in South Africa and I think we have them in our country. I am just in them to buy and use as I have aged. Good advice and God bless you Doc.
Im 100% vegan and get all my nutrients from food. For B12 I add nutritional yeast to my food regularly. For omega 3 I eat hemp and chia seeds. I get blood work yearly and it’s always excellent better than most animal product eating people I know.
You don’t need to supplement if you’re vegan just make sure to eat a balanced diet.
Edit: Also Moon Juice has an excellent vegan collagen boosting supplement.
Vegan collagen is not collagen,. There's no such thing as vegan collagen because collagen is made out of animal product.
Absolutely this! I am an ethical vegan so my reasoning for going vegan had nothing to do with vanity reasons as I am already an Esthetician, however my skin completely transformed when I became vegan. I feel as if I’m aging backwards! I do eat a Whole Food plant based diet with minimal processed vegan foods and exercise regularly but just cutting out all animal products was a game changer for my overall health and skin! Treating my body as a temple and not a graveyard has truly changed me and I never harm another living being in the process! It’s a win win 🌱
@maritzamartinez551 There's no such thing as vegan collagen because collagen is made out of animal product.
I'm glad you found a healthy lifestyle that works for you!
@@FragranceEuphoria I meant to say vegan collagen supporting supplement. Drinking collagen to support collagen health is like eating brain for cognitive health. Doesn’t make sense.
Thank you so much for this video, and including your wife into your daily basis healthy routine, is is very important that a patient can fully trust the Clinician actions by respecting his work!
You mentioned nutrafol for hair loss, have you seen a change? I have been considering this product. Thank you
Yes I think it's a great product if you're consistent.
Nutrafol has maintained my transplanted and native hairs. I tried all other hair supplements viviscal, prenatal, biotin alone etc. but this nutrafol seem to be the best one out there , if one has the $$$
Superb lecture, thank you! Glad you show the research! My Singapore and Chinese friends eat chicken feet and claim the collagen helps their skin and they do look younger than their ages.
He missed a few very important anti oxidants, like pycnogenol, astaxanthin, alpha lipoic acid... CoQ 10...! Incredibly important for anti aging!
yes very truth, and NAC, Taurine, NAD
or even glycin and b3
This video was so informative! I had no idea supplements could make such a difference for skin.
I used tretinoin for over twenty years, listening to others I decided to implement vitamin c serum in my routine about 3 years ago. I was fine for about a year! After that first year, suddenly I couldn’t use both vitamin c and retinol in any steps. My skin freaks out, it gets freckle reddish, tender stinging, so now I can not use them together in any routine. Not one in AM one in PM, not one today one tomorrow barely getting away with using trentinoin/retinol. Thank you for the tips Dr. Karam.
Try to use stable forms of vitamin C and lower percentage. Also I highly recommend niacinamide, it was a game changer for me!
I'm sorry to hear that. In order to prevent this kind of reaction, we've encapsulated our Retinol in the KaramMD Trifecta to allow for a slow release to the skin and added anti-inflammatories around the Vitamin C. In addition, we've formulated our Vitamin C serum (Quench) and our all-in-one Retinol cream (Illuminate) with two daily half doses of these ingredients for a gentler result. You can learn more about this topic here instagram.com/p/Cu7Pfjxx8RL/.
You look very handsome for your age.Are you doing Botox injections in your face?
Dr, Can u make recommendation for what to put on lips? I’m 55 and newly menopausal women. My lips peel and I don’t know why. I use vit c serum, glycolic acid, and retin A on face but I don’t use it on lips. Could any of these cause lip peeling despite the fact that I don’t put them on my lips? Or could this be another “pleasant”effect of menopause? This started a few mts ago. Products and menopause occurred 2023. I use
high quality products too.
I wish more men put at least half as much effort into their appearance as this dr does!
@@rickgrimes9979I saw him on another video talks about micro Botox and he states that he does do it in his forehead etc and ensures it’s done subtly to allow for movement.
Awesome video. I really like how you took the time to tell us the foods that contain these vitamins.
I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you handsome for helping us stay healthy and youthful!☺️
What a treat to listen to you on my Sunday morning .. I have again learnt so much thank you kindly for your time. Is there any way we can have all of this in a multipack .. so that it is all in one place, at the recommended amount .. that is my biggest issues with vitamins and supplements, it is just too much effort to get in, take all .. life takes over. However, I do many things here that you recommend and certainly the miconeedling has been amazing. I wish you had clinics in the UK ..
Is Living Silica equivalent to the powder form of collagen?
Thanks for the question! Collagen is the primary structural component of connective tissues in your body, present in high concentrations in cartilage, ligaments, tendons, bones, teeth, skin, hair, and nails. Silica, however, is a crucial nutrient required for collagen production. The key difference? Collagen serves as a ready-to-use base for an immediate collagen boost, whereas silica aids in the synthesis of collagen
Hello Dr Karam, thanks for your message about the Vitamins and Supplements. Very informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m surprised you mentioned biotin as I thought this doesn’t do much for skin and can affect lab values when used in high doses
Thank you for the comment and for watching! It's important to make sure any supplement is in the proper dosage and to tell your doctor if you are taking biotin supplements, especially if you are having lab tests done.
Thank you for giving so essential to anyone helping. I just start to listen to your info by accident & I love it .
I can listen to this doctor talk ALL day….
And look at ❤️😊
why??? that’s super weird.
@@tonimilstead5089 I hear ya girl!! 😁😁
@@sonialoves444 because he gives informative information and the way he explains is easy to understand. That’s not super weird. Like in school, some teachers gave me a headache and others made me want to be in school.
Thank you Dr. for alloting your time , sharing with us about supplements regarding skincare. God bless😊
My pleasure!
People require education on water vs fat soluble vitamins. Periodic blood tests to determine levels especially D3, B12, & Calcium.
Thanks for that input!
Love to learn all of the ways that we can help ourselves look youthful! You have helped me so much! Im 61, and i just lost 30 lbs trying to be as youthful as possible. I have had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. That was 16 yrs ago. I would love to have you do a vertical restoration on my face! Thanks for taking your valuable time to help us!!!
PS I also take collagen powder, and I'm adding the supplements that you mentioned in this video ❤
I'm so glad you found the content valuable!
@dramirkaram How can I add zinc and copper? I have been using the Wholesome collagen peptides for over a year, and it really helps!!!. It has 1234 &5.
When people smoke they loose a lot of collagen smoking is bad for collagene
Smoking is bad news all around.
Hi dr. Karam,
Could iI do a video on glutathione supplements for skin brightening?
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us
My pleasure!
Thank you so much. I am more of a carnivore, but I will start incorporating more foods into my diet. I am getting the hydrolyzed collagen peptides tomorrow.
Can I use Vitamin Proteins Collagen Peptides in capsule form instead of powder?😊
Yes, absolutely just make sure they're from a quality source and reputable company.
@@dramirkaram yes! The same company you recommended for the powder collagen peptides makes a capsule form!
Is there a way to eliminate the “music” while watching the videos? It’s exhausting for my head to listen to the information and to the other sounds. I’m a very musical person and too sensitive to noise 😔
he‘s the only doctor i trust online. i wish he wasn‘t so far away in california. i‘m from europe so seeing him is almost impossible 😂
Well if you can afford his services you probably can afford a plane ticket and extended stay in CA 😂
@@kristenchang2685 travelling to the us is not as easy as just buying a plane ticket and calling it a day
What a great video! Thank you, Doc!
Thanks for all your info Doc ❤
Dr. Karam , what a Great video, the explanation & choices are perfect. This is one of the best videos I have seen, thanks so much for bringing us all your great expertise 🙏👍
Oh, and thank you again for this video!
Pls tell me dr .amir that can facial scars which are acne scars ,can it b treated perfectly
I love your skin care. I’ve been using it for over a year and I love it. I have an olive skin tone and have been fighting melasma since I was in my 30’s. I’m 50 now and my skin has never looked better. It’s a little expensive but so worth it.
Please tell me what you are using
Thank you very much..any good advise on hyperpigmentation
Dr Karam, what is your opinion on taking trans resveratrol for anti ageing?
It may be beneficial as a supplment but I don't think it can replace the use of active ingredients in a consistent skincare routine.
Another magistral and instructive class!Very easily explained. Profoundly understandable all along! Invaluable! Thank you Dr. Karam💎🙏
The main ones I take are collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, silica, D3 & K2, Astaxanthin, and chlorella. I’m 39, 0 wrinkles, don’t use Botox. (I also use astaxanthin topically in my skincare. It’s 6,000x stronger than vitamin c and 0 irritation)
whats it called the topical that you use?? :-) thanks!!
@@ruthbar5352 I just open one of my Astaxanthin liquid supplement capsules and mix it in my skincare. Makes my face orange at night, but worth it. Read several scientific studies where hairless rats were irradiated with UV light, and given internal and external astaxanthin. Their skin damage was reversed. Also, it works as an “internal sunscreen”, protecting the skin from UV damage from the inside out.❤️
@@alyxxa6182 thank you soo much! !
so actually you take a capsule, open it and use it on the face? 🙂 and do not swollow it?
@@ruthbar5352 It’s a supplement, so I swallow them, AND use the capsules in my face creams/serums.
eh di Ikaw nah! 😊
Beautifully presented Dr. Amir…you are so passionate on this subject, which is wonderful to hear … I do take & eat many of your suggested foods but I don’t take a collagen supplement.. maybe I should !! … thank you again ..😊
You're very welcome!
How do you feel about NAD?
I am not very familiar with NAD. I will look more into it.
Thank you so much for this very generous informative video. I would like to know if you are getting any compensation for mentioning nutrafol and vital quality proteins.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't receive any compensation from those brands, I just share what I like.
Nice informations. Its one of the best video.
Dr. Karam, vitamin B5 is pantothenic acid while vitamin B7 is biotin. In this video you're recommending "biotin (vitamin B5)", so which one are you referring to, the B5 or the B7?
Thank you. Great video!
You are welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Infinite gratitude Doctor!
LOVED this video. VERY informative. I have seen several others but I specially liked this one and I've shared it with my friends 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 thank you
Glad you liked it and thanks for sharing.
Thanks doc good advice
I really like the way you do your presentation. You address the items by giving the objective and topic related at the beginning of the presentation. All the important points will be highlighted. This will make us understanding better.
I appreciate that! I'm glad you found it helpful.
Great info (as always) .... It would be nice to have a list (cheatsheet) ;-)
The check sheet is this video. Just save it in your favorites.
There is one, check the video on 29:50
Thank you! There is one around minute 29.
Dr what about saw palmetto
Is for the hair loss
???
I got this from Amazon grass feed ZAYTUN. Collagen peptide and it’s halal. I am a Muslim so I always look for halal. Alhamdulilah.
All marine collagen halal too
Jazhakhallah khair
What do you think about castor oil?
Been using it on my face and body.
How about astaxanthin?
I don't know much about taking this internally but it's an ingredient my Enrich Breathable Barrier Balm and is definitely beneficial when applied topically.
I’ve taken this everyday for the past 14 years- really helps my skin
@@LisaNix2 I'm taking it orally, also. It seems to be helping.
Which brand collagen as tablet form would you recommend for a 50 year old man? Or won't it make no difference to a 50 year old man now?
I've tried nearly all of the topical formulations and feel collagen peptides powder nutritional supplements are the best. I've seen great results in skin quality over the past 5 years.
Thak you, I am 62,yes photo is current and I have been taking all of the supplements you suggested
That's great!
